On the [ ], the Tribunal wrote again to the applicant’s solicitor and advised that the file would be forwarded to a Member of the Tribunal for a decision if no response was received by the applicant by [ ]. No response was received from the applicant to any of the Tribunal’s correspondence.
7. The applicant has not corresponded with the Tribunal since the date that he initially lodged this applicant, over [ ] years ago.
8. Unfortunately, it is not within the remit of the Tribunal to award compensation for pain and suffering. The Tribunal can only make awards in respect of vouched out-of-pocket expenses. The applicant has failed to sufficiently vouch and prove that he incurred any out-of-pocket expenses. Regrettably, in such circumstances, it is not possible to make any award to the applicant.
9. In circumstances where the application has not proven his claim in respect of out-of-pocket expenses, it is not necessary for the Tribunal to make any further determinations on the other provisions of the Scheme that might apply to this matter.
